Dual De-Esser

De-essing is an audio effect designed to reduce the amount of excessive sibilance in an audio signal, usually when dealing with the human voice. The Dual De-Esser
accurately and seamlessly removes sibilance from audio tracks.
The Lo-Band (around 6k for male or 7k female voices) and Hi-Band (around 11k) controls select which portion of the audio spectrum is affected by the De-Esser on each
channel. By increasing the amount of reduction, the level to which the de-essing affects the input signal can be controlled.
